The GoldenRetriever plugin saves selected files in your browser cache (Local Storage for metadata, then Service Worker for all blobs + IndexedDB for small blobs), so that if the browser crashes, Uppy can restore everything and continue uploading like nothing happened. Read more about it [on the blog](https://uppy.io/blog/2017/07/golden-retriever/).

Uppy is being developed by the folks at [Transloadit](https://transloadit.com), a versatile file encoding service.

## Example

```js
const Uppy = require('@uppy/core')
const GoldenRetriever = require('@uppy/golden-retriever')

const uppy = Uppy()
uppy.use(GoldenRetriever, {
  // Options
})
```

## Installation

```bash
$ npm install @uppy/golden-retriever --save
```

We recommend installing from npm and then using a module bundler such as [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/), [Browserify](http://browserify.org/) or [Rollup.js](http://rollupjs.org/).

Alternatively, you can also use this plugin in a pre-built bundle from Transloadit's CDN: Edgly. In that case `Uppy` will attach itself to the global `window.Uppy` object. See the [main Uppy documentation](https://uppy.io/docs/#Installation) for instructions.
